Read this passage from a short story, looking for clues that might reveal the story's theme. I suppose the average, unenlightened person would have thought her ugly. After all, with an asymmetrical face, high forehead, close-set eyes, broad nose and thin lips, she certainly didn’t meet the criteria for conventional beauty. Yet she had an allure that I found irresistible. I found her dignified manner admirable, her confidence bewitching and her slight smile endearing. I knew at once she was my soulmate.

Which theme is supported the writer's use of the words with opposite connotations, such as criteria and conventional beauty compared to allure, irresistible, bewitching, and soulmate?
